What a load of tripe. John Ledger spoke to Paul Deacon personally and to Peter Hood. It had nothing to do with the club. I get the press releases and, I have it on good authourity, so does BullsEye. So why don't you ask him whether he got it coz I certainly didn't.

“There’s also a lot of stuff Steve does that people just don’t see."

Well at least Sam and maybe Deacs are impressed by Maccas colouring-in.

"He’s the smartest bloke I’ve come across in rugby league and knows what he’s talking about"

Does Sam hang out with Terry Newton a lot?

think deacs is not 2 far off the mark with the 5% bit but id say 2%

It's worth noting that the Hull players were making similar statements about Peter Sharp during our appalling run of form last season.

Not sure how significant this is. The players will either come out in support whether they mean it or not, or remain silent.

Only in rare occasions will a player publicly criticise the coach. I remember Jamie Thackray when at Leeds being quoted in the YEP saying something to the effect that he knew better than the coach who was trying to change his ball-carrying technique... Needless to say he didn't last long at Leeds.
